13 Vintage Cocktail Book Torrents For Mixing Retro Drinks

Ordering drinks is one thing, but mixing them is quite another. Knowing the correct amount of spirits, bitters and mixers to create a flavorful concoction appears to be more akin to alchemy. Clearly, cocktails are an art form and similar to fashion, drinks have come and gone out of style.

Whether your poison is a Blackthorn, a Sidecar or a Death In the Afternoon, preference actually boils down to taste. The human tongue has an average of 10,000 taste buds, however, women actually have more taste buds than men. Because men have less they tend to prefer stronger liquors, like whiskey, scotch or tequila.

We aren’t advising you to start drinking like Hemingway, but we are excited to share some vintage cocktail book torrents that are available in the public domain. If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to make a Blackthorn, a Sidecar or a Bronx these books are your ticket. They’re full of popular recipes from well-known vintage society hotspots like The Stork Club, The Savoy and Waldorf-Astoria. Plenty of how-to included for the mixologist novice too.

This book was developed to help standardize recipes across the bar industry. Because many bartenders used different names for the same drinks this book was used to help consolidate. Original drink recipes for the Hoop La and Odd McIntyre are just a few of the fun cocktails you’ll find inside.

If there’s one vintage cocktail book that is still referred to as a “go-to” and a staple among bartenders it’s this one. Loaded with recipes for punches, juleps, cobblers, toddys and slings you’re bound to find something interesting to try.

This is the first manual written by an African American and highly respected bartender of the prestigious Pendennis Club in Kentucky. It’s reported that Bullock’s cocktails were so delicious that he once faced a lawsuit for libel. That alone is reason to mix a few of these. Recipes for the Cohasset and Brace Up sound delicious.
